The lawyers conducting our conveyancing in Hillsborough has forwarded papers to review that indicate that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not registred at HM Land Regsitry?

Whilst most properties in Hillsborough are now registered with HMLR there are still some that remain unregistered. Any property in Hillsborough that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Hillsborough property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many Hillsborough conveyancing lawyers will be familiar with such matters but in the event that uncertainty exists the conventional proposition presently is for the current owners to undertake the registration formalities first and thereafter sell - this this chain of events will cause a prolonged conveyancing.
